"I couldn't be happier for the recognition these guys are starting to receive," head coach John Galloway said.

What he does at his position is as good as I have ever seen it as a player or a coach. Max Waldbaum stormed onto the scene for us this year, and changed the culture of our program from day one. I know this is just the beginning of their recognition, and it is well deserved."
